About Jira

JIRA is a project management tool developed by Atlassian that is widely used by software, IT, and security teams to plan, track, and manage their work. It allows teams to organize their tasks, track progress, and collaborate on issues in a centralized location.

Together, SIRP and Jira can automate manual tasks such as incident ticket creation, ticket assignment, and ticket closure. The incident can automatically be pushed from SIRP to Jira. This can help security teams to respond quickly and efficiently, reducing the overall incident response time.
